You know you're from OREGON if:

1. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.

2. "Vacation" means going to Portland for the weekend.

3. You measure distance in hours.

4. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.

5. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

6. You use a down comforter in the summer.

7. Your grandparents drive at 65 mph through a raging rain storm without flinching.

8. You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.

9. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

10. You think of the major food groups as elk meat, beer, fish, and berries.

11. You carry jumper cables in your pickup and your wife knows how to use them.

12. There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the Bi-Mart store at any given time.

13. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a raincoat.

14. Driving is better in the winter because almost everybody stays home.

15. You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas.

16. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still raining, and construction.

17. It takes you 3 hours to go to the store for one item even when you're in a rush because you have to stop and talk to everyone in town.
